First time growing chard and found it to be an excellent variety. Very colourful and very tasty.Will definitely be growing it again this year.
Also for me. This is a very good chard with top flavour. I used it right through the summer and have tried transplanting to my polytunnelto try keep it going through the winter. It also looks so good - both in the garden and when harvested.
